Re: Cold Cure Required

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. The cold has now gone, I think beating it to death with warm alcoholic beverages was the answer. Mulled cider with a large drop of rum in it helped vastly. I am tempted to keep up with this little concoction as a preventative mesure. Glad to hear Jim….Works every t...

Re: Heat wave pictures

That sound just like the UK Peter, apart from the storm windows bit. Saying that, we are starting to get some very windy weather now.

Re: Is it me?

In answer to the original question, I don't find it particularly disrespectful. I do think it is far to early to even think about Christmas though. I am not sure about the argument regarding people buying Christmas stuff so early. If the shops did not sell it, then people would not be buying it. I ...

Re: The Skebawn and Castleknox Light Railway and Tramway

They cannot do anything about the migraine itself, but they can at least do something about the migraine "hangover" which used to make the next day rather unproductive. The missus has a lot of minor things going on which she finds very discouraging, mainly because they don't seem to be re...

Re: Is it me?

I agree on all counts. But what gets me, is that no matter what you what, they bump up the prices too. Don’t be fooled with the price drops. They have already put the price up, then they advertise it at a lower price. It’s the same really with our 16mm stuff. Some of the prices they are asking are a...

Just a thought though. :idea: Your Trestles are only just needing repair after 10 or 20 plus years. To s...

A hot Toddy of Whiskey, lemonade and honey works wonders for me. My Dad sweared by it and he didn’t really get any heavy colds, I never saw him sneeze once after having his Toddies……
